In vitro digestion of beef and vegan burgers cooked by microwave technology: Effects on protein and lipid fractions.

Commercial beef burgers and vegan analogues were purchased and, after a microwave treatment, they were submitted to an in vitro digestion (INFOGEST). Vegan cooked burgers showed similar protein content (16-17 %) but lower amounts of total peptides than beef burgers. The protein digestibility was higher in beef burgers.

Effect of baking conditions on resistant starch: Model systems and cake formulations.

Five ingredients rich in RS (resistant starch) were assessed in a model system simulating baking process (water addition 30-50%, 180 °C/35 min) and in reformulated cakes (50% replacement of wheat flour). Moreover, two enzymatic methods used for RS determination (official and rapid) were compared. The combined effect of heating and water addition (50%) significantly decreased the RS content in all ingredients.

Natural antioxidants (rosemary and parsley) in microwaved ground meat patties: effects of in vitro digestion.

Background: Minimizing food oxidation remains a challenge in several environments. The addition of rosemary extract (150 mg kg) and lyophilized parsley (7.1 g kg) at equivalent antioxidant activity (5550 μg Trolox equivalents kg) to meat patties was assessed in terms of their effect during microwave cooking and after being subjected to an in vitro digestion process.

Comparison between the use of hydrocolloids (xanthan gum) and high-pressure processing to obtain a texture-modified puree for dysphagia.

Enriched lentil protein vegetable purees (10% zucchini, 10% carrots, 2.5% extra virgin olive oil and 21.8% lentil protein concentrate) suitable for people with dysphagia were developed with 0.

Oxidative Stability and Genotoxic Activity of Vegetable Oils Subjected to Accelerated Oxidation and Cooking Conditions.

The oxidative stability and genotoxicity of coconut, rapeseed and grape seed oils were evaluated. Samples were submitted to different treatments: 10 days at 65 °C, 20 days at 65 °C (accelerated storage) and 90 min at 180 °C. Peroxide values and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances values were altered as a function of storage time, but their greatest changes were recorded in samples subjected to 180 °C.
